Kristy (Brayergirl) started her color challenges again on 2Peas. This week it's red/green/white as you can see. Stamps are Maryse Carrier and Artemio. The ladybird and vellum flowers were left-overs from cards I made before. I colored the ladybird with Ecoline.

This week's sketch on 2Peas is by Scrappin_mimi. I used Ecoline, bleach, heat embossing on the square, and masking to sponge the circle. Stamps by Maryse Carrier (words and dots) and Stampers Anonymous Tim Holz' Collection.

I finished a big swap today, but I can't show yet... So I could finally try some of my new stamps I bought at the event in Nuland (Holland) last weekend. I just stamped this adorable image, designed by Hermine, available at Art Journey (Holland), on some backgrounds I had. I used the green one in my previous posts too (Distress Ink). Image is stamped with India Ink Black. Script is Hero Arts, stamped with Adirondack #Lettuce.

I made this card for Isa's Distress Challenge. She describes the technique on her blog and in her beautiful book "Les Encres". I used Distress Ink #Mustard Seed and Peeled Paint. All stamps are by Auddesign, except the butterflies (Leave Memories)

A few weeks ago I discovered this wonderful blog {Handmade Card} by {Emilia}, Emilia lives in Taiwan, and I can only read the parts that are written in English, but the step by step pictures you can see after clicking on her beautiful cards are amazing. I can't find out if you can leave comments on her blog, but her email address is in the header :)

Yesterday my sister Rein, her daughter Leni and I went to THE ARTSpecially event in Nuland (Holland). We had a fantastic day, meeting other stampers/bloggers in person, doing a few workshops, selecting new stamps and finding a lot of inspiration.
